Classic comment by Jim Lorimar when he said that all the top guys that are not competing in the Arnold are HURTING THE SPORT OF BODYBUILDING.

The top 6 automatic qualification for the Olympia has to be taken away. Also, raise the prize money and align the schedule with shows from May through September. As Dexter said, if he could do it over again, he would pick and choose shows like Phil Heath is doing. There's no point in being on a pre-contest diet for 10 months out of the year.

After listening to the recent Dex interview, I have to say that it was the best reigning Mr Olympia interview I have heard on the show. I've never heard Dex so animated and open. Hearing Dex's view on Badell was cool.
